Hi there.

Maybe its a stupid question, but i want to make sure before i contribute anything cause im new to this.

As a german Steam-User im using a german Steam Account, obviously ;-)

Some of you might know, that some games are sold censored because of child protection regulations in our country.

So, in my inventory there are The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead collecting dust since two years or something like that and i want to contribute them.

If i would activate them with my account, they would be installed as low violence versions. What about people in other countries? Can they register the games as regular versions without censoring? Can they activate them at all?

Just want to know before im contributing some crap no one outside from germany could use and the complaints grow.

they would be low violence versions if activated however, whoever activates them can request a normal version via steam support.

Doesn't always work though. Steam support replaced my copy of an Aus L4D2, but a couple of friends who got a copy from the same gifter got denied.

The version is determined by the location the game was bought from. So all games bought from a German IP will be cut (provided there is cut/uncut distinction).

Well, i didnt buy them. I won them during Steam Holliday Sale 2011. Does this make any difference? I hope so :-)

Wenn die Spiele ein (DE) in der Beschreibung haben sind es die deutschen Versionen.

Bei keiner Bezeichnung oder (ROW) sind es ungeschnittene Versionen.

Da dein Steam Inventar privat ist kann ich nicht für dich nachschauen.

hier sind aber auch sehr viele Deutsche, für die die Games in der Version wie du Sie hasst völlig normal sind.
Du kannst zb ein privates aufmachen und dann hier im forum posten extra für diesen Personenkreis und halt explizit sagen dass es die cut versionen aus DE sind.^^
Außerdem haben die Leute sich nicht zu beschweren wenn du schon so großzügig bist und deine Games giftest.

english:


Just told him that there are germans here too so he can make a private Giveaway just for them and post it on the forums.
Since all others doesnt want to get the cut versions of our Country.^^
And in my opinion nobody should complain about a gifted Game anyway because its free.

Cheers
